MB Motorsports Drifter Wheel - opinions?
americastires.com has a new wheel called the "MB Motorsports Drifter" and it comes in 18x9.5 +35 in silver and black, both with a machined lip. The price is only $151.00! Any opinions of this wheel? Anyone have these on their car? I did a search and found no mention of these wheels anywhere.

Depending on what kind of wheels you are looking for. Some are looking for 'Looks' while others are looking for 'light weight and performance' i.e. 'strong'. I'm sure the ones that you posted are good for normal driving but probably pretty heavy.

Sounds like you are just exactly where I am. I have decided to run an r-comp tire for autox and the occassional track day and just run an all season tire the rest of the time. Since I already had the all season Conti's that I ran in the winter I just got an additional set of wheels (17x9 5zigen FNO1-c's in hyper black) to run my r-comps on (255/40-17). What made you choose the Yoko AO32R? I was debating between that and the Toyo RA-1 and have been leaning toward the Toyo.
Why not the MB Motorsports Weapon in 18x8.5? Looks like the Gram Lights 57S, which looks good on the Evo and should fit with no issues.

As for the wheels, yeah the Weapons look like they would work too, just wondering about these wheels since I just discovered them. I'm also considering 5Zigen FNO1R-C in 18x9.5 +35. I definitely want at least a 9" wide 18" wheel so I can run 265/35/18's, probably Pirelli PZero Nero M+S or Hankook Ventus Sport K104's.

PZero Nero M+S...had them on the wagon last winter. wasnt bad at all, didnt get enough snow to make me need my snow tires. had decent dry grip and great wet traction, not a bad tire considering the cost.
